The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding mutations, we need to evaluate each of the given statements and determine how many of them are correct. ### Step 1: Analyze the Statements 1. **Random**: Mutations occur randomly. They can happen at any time and in any location within the DNA sequence. This statement is **correct**. 2. **Discontinuous**: Mutations are not a continuous process; they occur at specific points in the DNA sequence rather than spreading continuously throughout. This statement is **correct**. 3. **Continuous**: This statement suggests that mutations occur continuously, which contradicts the previous analysis. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Directionless**: Mutations can occur in any direction within the DNA sequence, meaning they are not limited to a specific direction. This statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Count the Correct Statements From the analysis: - Correct statements: Random, Discontinuous, Directionless - Incorrect statement: Continuous Thus, there are **three correct points** regarding mutations. ### Final Answer The correct number of points regarding mutations is **3**. ---
